Re: SPIN's kiss of death for 2004

I agree, you can read stuff in context, no question. But I'm saying what's wrong with attempting to see beyond hype and actually test the goods - before being so readily dismissive? As I say, you might end up depriving yourself of something you might like purely cos "Spin" "NME" et al likes it 'ergo it must be crap'.
That way elitism lies. Just cos A band is on the cover of something is no obligation on your part to buy their stuff; neither is it a 100% assurance they are crap - cos thats just as silly as 'believing what you read'. The information is their for you to use.

To come from what seems a fairly lofty position of slagging something off without actually hearing a note seems a bit pointless to me. I mean, I don't work in radio or DJ and I know what Nickelback sound like and I can tell you, with at least having heard them, that I don't like 'em and why.
